Dani Pedrosa continues his path in motor sports in the way he made his career at the highest level of motorcycle racing: with seriousness, humility and discretion. Thus, while Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo asserted themselves in the automotive media by highlighting their debut behind a wheel, Dani Pedrosa was not boasting of having finished fourth in the Pro-Am category and eighth overall in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo in Imola. However, there would be something! But the KTM test rider is also studying what is happening in Mattighofen…
Dani Pedrosa can finally devote himself fully to his passion for piloting, without the anxiety-provoking constraint of achieving results at all costs and at every moment which is the daily life of a regular pilot. He therefore finds himself behind the wheel when he has the opportunity and works on the saddle of the RC16 to KTM. Which does not prevent him from having a broad view of the current competition. He says thus: “ besides the KTM riders, I like Joan Mir's riding and I like Enea Bastianini, because he is strong in the last stages of the race. And also Pecco Bagnaia, who was scary last year ».

Who says heir, says past and Dani Pedrosa remembers his contemporaries with this assessment: “ in terms of pure driving I would stay with Stoner, with his style he opened my eyes a lot. Mentally, I would say Marc Márquez, who is also gifted at extreme driving, with his elbow on the ground. Valentino Rossi is the one who attracts the public. When he became the absolute reference in MotoGP, around 2005, if you were not like him, so extroverted, you were not well seen. Or maybe people weren't interested. Stoner suffered from this, being an introvert ».
In fact, he will not have escaped Peter Acosta which Dani Pedrosa was never able to win the MotoGP crown. The Spanish hope will therefore seek to be more than this possible heir…
